Vocal/ Lyrical Mistakes on Cast Recordings

Ricky Martin in Evita.

All of them.

Yes, what are the mistakes he will hear on the recordings in his car.

 

 

Damn, and I was trying you refrain from snark.

You know that LuPone does not actually mess up Bacall's name, right?

Not to defend LuPone's diction (Alessandrini makes one of his best jokes around it) but if one is singing the O vowel in So and must change to the L of Lauren it is natural to pass thru a formation that sounds like an R if you are singing correctly. 

I doubt Patti Lupone has ever messed up Lauren Bacall's name in any situation.
I would not be so certain of the reverse, though Bacall was sharp as a kidney stone.

One that bugs me every time i hear it is on the Next to Normal cast recording, during the song I'm Alive. In the part where the lyric goes "I've shown you I own you", it always sounds to me like Aaron sings "I've showed you I own you", which is both grammatically incorrect and ruins the rhyme scheme that the correct lyric has.  I might be hearing it wrong, but it sounds enough like showed rather than shown to bother me a bit.

Is it just me or does that ensemble member's line in "Made of Stone" end horribly flat on the recent Hunchback studio recording? Ruins all of Michael Arden's good work for me so I find myself listening to Drew Sarich in German instead. And still being amazed by how he finishes that song in an octave higher than his bell tower.

"Shown" is the past participle which combines with "have" to make the present perfect tense. If you were using "showed" it would just be "I showed you." "Have showed," or the contraction "I've showed," is grammatically incorrect (if that's what was said).

Streisand's vocal crack/yodel at the end of "Don't Rain on My Parade" on the Original Broadway Cast Recording of FUNNY GIRL.  

The most famous one I can think of is Elaine Stritch at the end of the title song of Company during the long LAAAOOOOOVEEEEEEE. She's insanely flat and then she drops out halfway through.

Alice Ripley - Next To Normal - "I'm no shoshopath" rather than I'm no sociopath"

Regarding Streisand in Cornet Man on OBC of Funny Girl - She's singing  "waa waa mute" but you're right - I just listened and she certainly doesn't really close that "t"...  :)

I hear what you're talking about but I still think he says "shown "
